Children and Young People's Services

To deliver these services, there are two service areas within Children and Young People's Services:

• Education

• help children and young people make positive and healthy choices
• support a range of intervention and prevention services to improve outcomes for families
• work with the police and other partners to reduce crime and anti-social behaviour
• look after children and young people in public care and care leavers
